It has been four days since Zhuang Yan posted "The Catcher in the Rye" on the website of the literary and art world, and the book has been published in nine chapters, and the storyline has reached Holden who came out of school and went to New York.

His home was in New York, but he was afraid that his parents would blame him for being dropped out of school, so he chose to spend two days outside.

When Holden came out of the train station, he found a phone booth, he wanted to make a call to someone, but after thinking about many people, he finally walked out of the phone booth without making a single call.

When he got into a taxi, he subconsciously told the address of his home, and finally had to ask the driver to take a detour away from his house.

He didn't know where he was supposed to go, so he chose to go to the Edmond Hotel and open a room.

When he arrived at the hotel, he thought it was full of perverts and demented weirdos.

He was in his room, and he could see in the opposite room, a gray-haired man, dressed in women's clothes one by one, and walking up and down like a woman. There was also a room in which a man and a woman squirted water on each other with their mouths, and it sounded like the hotel was indeed filled with psychopaths.

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's also a bit symbolic, Holden finds something that makes him unhappy almost everywhere he goes, things that "fuck" and "assholes", or rather, he doesn't have anything to make him happy until now.

He also tried to call a jinv to the hotel, but because it was late at night, the other party was reluctant, and he had to dismiss the idea.

Bored, he walked downstairs to a bar. There's a really bad band going on in the bar, and Holden certainly doesn't like it very much.

He wanted to drink, but the bartender wouldn't sell it to him because he couldn't show his papers, so he had to order a Coke.

Later, he saw three women in their thirties, all three of them were ugly, only one of them looked fine, this is Holden himself, he also flirted with the blonde woman, and danced with the other party, but the other party did not pay attention to him, but kept looking for a star in the bar to see if there was a star.

The latest ninth chapter, the story ends here.

……

Wang Lin finished reading the latest chapter with a frown almost all the time, he is a senior engineer who works for an electronics company.

At the age of forty, he can be said to have a bumper family and career, and he has a son who is now in high school.

Wang Lin is a fan of Zhuang Yan's books, and he liked him when he read "Alive", and later Zhuang Yan came out with "Metamorphosis", and he also liked it very much, and he also introduced Zhuang Yan's books to his son. I thought that Zhuang Yan's book was a little profound, and his son couldn't understand it, but what made him happy was that his son liked it very much after reading it.

However, there are joys and sorrows, since he showed his son Zhuang Yan's book, his son occasionally revealed that he wanted to study literature in the future and become a writer. Although it was not explicitly stated, Wang Lin could indeed feel it.

This made Wang Lin a little distressed, on the one hand, the book was recommended by him to his son, and it was said that it was a good thing to arouse his son's interest. But in Wang Lin's heart, he didn't approve of his son's desire to be a writer.

If his son likes literature and likes to read, of course he supports it. But being a reader and being an author are two completely different things.

He was an engineer himself, and his wife was also an engineer, and of course he hoped that his son would become an engineer in the future, if not better than the two of them, and should follow their path.

In the past, Wang Lin thought that there were those famous books to read in the past anyway, so why bother to write books again. But now his mind has changed, but it hasn't changed much, he now thinks that the creation of literary works is just left to Zhuang Yan and other people to do, why do he have to do it himself?

"Dad, I heard that Zhuang Yan has a new book, can I use your computer to read it?" suddenly sounded his son's voice at the door.

Wang Lin turned his head and saw his son walking in excitedly, today is Friday, and his son has returned from school.

Seeing his son getting closer and closer, Wang Lin hurriedly closed the page of the website of the literary and art world, and said to his son: "Xiaoqi, you are back." ”

"Well, I'm back, have you read Zhuang Yan's new book, Dad, how is it. Wang Qi asked impatiently.

Wang Lin didn't know how to answer, to be honest, he didn't like the book very much, and he didn't like the character of Holden very much. He didn't understand why Zhuang Yan wanted to write the character of Holden, a rebellious teenager who was full of swearing, rudeness, smoking, drinking, and even wanting to prostitute.

He looked at his son in front of him, and if Wang Qi was like Holden, he would definitely be angry.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, is the new book very heavy?" Wang Qi saw that his father didn't speak, and asked again.

Wang Lin subconsciously shook his head.

"Then why do you have such an expression, come on, let me see. Wang Qi was even about to reach for the mouse.

Wang Lin frowned suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "What do you see, have you finished your homework? Have you drawn all the cross-sectional drawings of the four castings from No. 037 to No. 041 that I gave you last week?"

Wang Qi was a little stunned by his father's sudden serious expression, and nodded and said, "The profile has been made, and it is in the schoolbag." ”

"What about the other homework. Wang Lin asked again.

"Other homework ......" Wang Qi originally wanted to say that it had just been out of school for a short time, and there were still two days to go, and it was not too late to do it after reading the book, but when he saw Wang Lin's eyes, he held back the words behind him vividly, and looked at his father with an aggrieved face.

Wang Lin didn't pity him at all, frowned and said, "Go and finish your homework first." ”

"That's ......," Wang Qi pointed to the computer.

"The rest will wait until you finish your homework!"

Feeling his father's emotions, Wang Qi hurriedly turned his head and ran away.

Seeing his son leave, Wang Lin sighed, since his son went to high school, he rarely talked to his son like this. But he really didn't want his son to see "The Catcher in the Rye", because he subconsciously felt that Holden in the book would bring his son to ruin.

"Why did Zhuang Yan write such a book!" Wang Lin rubbed his temples, and then he thought: "Will this Holden reform in the future? If it gets better, he can show Wang Qi." ”

PS: My dad was like this, when I was a child, he took me to read novels, but he didn't let me study liberal arts, and then I went to a science and engineering university with a ratio of seven to one men to one, and three pairs of couples. But I don't hate my dad, and I had a good time in college, but it's just a little regretful.
